Well, seeing as I'm so far behind with the sketches this week I've managed to combine 3 challenges into 1 card for today lol! The challenges are PTW which is another great sketch from Dawny, My Time To Craft with a theme of 'Mice & Easy' and finally PBSC.....'Lets Get Dotty!' I've used some design papers from DCWV retro paper stack and the little mouse stamp is from my new Penny Black set that I bought with my crimbo money. Mouse has been coloured with PM's and cut out on a nestie. Ribbon slider is a BossKut die-cut that was put through the Big shot and some ribbon added to the slots. Sentiment is done with tiny black peel offs and the flowers and brad from my stash :)

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has left encouraging get well messages for Sophie this week. For those of you who don't know, she had her ears pierced before Christmas and we were doing just fine bathing them with cool boiled water with a little salt added.....then a friend recommended Savlon. BIG mistake, it badly burnt her ears and she has had two visits to the doctors over the last week and one to the hospital. The earrings have had to come out which has caused her great distress but I'm so pleased to report that she is recovering well now and her medication is working, so fingers crossed she will be able to have her ears re-pierced again in 6 months. There is an active ingredient in Savlon called Chlorehexidine and it was this that caused the burns, so beware if you use Savlon liquid on your skin, it can cause a very nasty reaction if you are allergic to it!

This is gorgeous Donna! Great colours too, I have those papers and I love em :D

Oh I'm so sorry to read about what happened to Sophie with her ears Donna, but glad she's getting better. I know how she must be feeling, I had 3 goes at having my ears pierced when I was younger and ended up having to take the earring out and let them close :( It breaks my heart when I make a gorge pair and can't wear them, lol!

Oh bless sorry Sophie had probs with her ears, we use these creams thinking they are ok, glad to see things are getting better for her, hugs, sorry rambling, beautiful card, luv the image n papers, sue.x

Oh, poor Sophie! Sounds like she's had a terrible time of it, I'm so glad that she's getting better, the medication is helping and there's no permanent damage to her ears. An awful way to find out that she's allergic to the Savlon ingredient but something that you're now aware of for the future which is the only thing to take from this. I'm glad she'll be able to have them done again in a few months. Wishing her well. I love your card Donna and your new PB is gorgeous, beautiful colouring, paper and the ribbon slider is brilliant, love that idea. Chris x

A little Bit About Me

I have always enjoyed having a hobby and in recent years I have knitted, cross-stitched and done a bit of sewing but cardmaking took over when I went on a beginners course in 2005. I also enjoy crocheting...nothing too fancy, mainly granny squares and baby blankets. I have a real soft spot for digi images and paper downloads especially gingham, stripes and polka dots.

A Little Plea!

If you are inspired by any of my cards or ideas I am more than happy for you to use them but would ask that you give me credit for the design and that you don't submit any of my designs to any publication as a competition entry. Please donot directly copy any of my cards or use the ideas as your own. I hope you enjoy looking at my Blog.
